I posted in another thread, but the Pistons have to keep this year's pick because next year's draft looks awful. I top-3 would do wonders for the direction of this franchise, whereas dropping to 9 would effectively set their growth back two years.

Should lose enough to keep 8th spot, but can't see the Kings winning any to get us up to 7th.

It has easily the most disappointing season in my time as a Pistons supporter and I think this is the first season I have stopped watching games by January. My interest now turns to the GM and coach search, and the lottery - these are things I'm sick of having to focus on while other teams jostle for Playoff position.

I'd be exited to watch these gawd awful games if there was some player development going on our some exploration of gigi, siva, mitchell, and jorts' talents. Even watching siva get real action lately has piqued my interest. I hate the thought of letting players go in the off season when they haven't had a chance.

Jerebko had been playing well and I'm cool with that, but he's a very familiar player in year three. He should have been playing all year.

It was interesting the Jerebko hit those key 3-pointers against Boston while playing power forward. Perhaps Coach Loyer knew something that other rotations experts did not.

Loyer is just cashing his paycheck and collecting his secret cash bonus payments for each L that he produces.

I do wonder how gores aligns incentives.

Think its the opposite. Reason he is still smashing the starters 40 mins a night is because he is coaching for his next job and trying everything he can to win! Disaster for development in a lost season... Should have just kept Cheeks.

We are officially eliminated from the playoffs. Mitchell and Siva should be starting, with Gigi and KCP getting at least 25 minutes a game. Anybody hurting with a sore knee, toe or earache should be dressed in their civies. There is no way we should pass Cleveland and have the 9th best record. Getting the 7th maybe difficult with Kings trying to better their position, but to slip into the disaster zone because Loyer wants get a job next year should be grounds enough for another coach firing. Hand the reigns over to Billups/Sheed or Henry Bibby to the remaining 6 games.
